Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 410°F (210°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, beat the cold butter with brown and white sugars until light and fluffy (about 4-5 minutes).

3. Add Eggs: Mix in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.

4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.

5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually mix dry ingredients into the butter mixture just until combined.

6. Add Chocolate and Nuts: Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).

7. Shape Dough Balls: Form large cookie dough balls—about 6 oz (170g) each for authentic Levain-style size. Do not flatten.

8. Bake: Bake for 9–12 minutes, or until the outside is golden brown and the centers look slightly underdone. They will firm up as they cool.

9. Cool Slightly: Let cookies rest for 10 minutes before serving warm for that signature gooey center.
